Chapter 8: See Him at Night
Editor: Henyee Translations
Was Fu Xiuyuan going to let Shi Jin leave so easily?
In the past, Fu Xiuyuan always ended up stopping Shi Jin regardless of how smart she tried to be. Although she was able to go out in the past, she only managed to go after putting up a huge fight.
"Jin, what did you say to him? Why is he so nice?" asked Deng Yufei in surprise.
"He was always nice to begin with," replied Shi Jin with a smile.
"Didn't you get into a fight yesterday?"
Shi Jin looked at her. "Are you hoping that we did?"
Deng Yufei hurriedly shook her head. "Of course not! I'm your best friend. I only want the best for you!"
Shi Jin smiled happily. "I want the best for you too."
Deng Yufei felt that Shi Jin had changed a lot and was starting to doubt her and seemed to be implying something when she spoke. However, she was incapable of figuring out what was wrong or even whether Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan got into a fight after she left yesterday.
Also, she did not have a clue about Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan getting married.

The two of them soon arrived at the "Ultimate Singer-Songwriter' filming location.
Shi Jin removed her mask and put on the mask that the staff gave her.
The show had dreams of being a pioneer among talent programs that only cared about looks and not ability. All the participants had to abide by two criteria: 1) They had to use their original songs. 2) They were not allowed to show their faces throughout the program.
They wanted to promote truly talented singer-songwriters in the entertainment industry.
A few episodes of the program had already been aired, and Shi Jin managed to stay on thus far despite her inconsistent performance.
Deng Yufei had already made quite a name for herself owing to her unique voice.
"Chu Ling is here!"
Everyone looked towards Chu Ling when they heard the voice.
Chu Ling walked out with a huge retinue and looked very impressive. He was one of the four instructors appearing on the show.
Chu Ling was the most popular idol singer in Country S, so he came with a huge following and a lot of media attention.
The "Ultimate Singer-Songwriter" managed to receive a healthy viewership when it first aired, mostly thanks to him.
Shi Jin looked towards the extraordinarily handsome man as well. He was tall and lean and immaculately dressed in a designer suit. His stylish necktie made him look very gentlemanly. And his hair was meticulously done by a stylist and made his face flawless from every angle.
He was undoubtedly mesmerizing.
Shi Jin was obsessed with him for years in her past life. Even though a part of it was due to his good looks, he was also there for her when she felt the most powerless.
However, now that she had scrutinized Fu Xiuyuan closely, she shockingly realized that Chu Ling was just a flickering light who could never compare to Fu Xiuyuan's dazzling glory.
Deng Yufei caught sight of Shi Jin looking at Chu Ling infatuatedly, so she pulled Shi Jin's hand and said, "Let's go backstage and find him!"
Chu Ling was Deng Yufei's cousin, so they were rather close. However, their relationship was unknown to the public.
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Forget it. It's too crowded. I'll try again at night."
Deng Yufei contemplated. Then again, it made sense to meet at night since it made things look clandestine.
"The filming is about to start. Places please, everyone!"
Shi Jin and Deng Yufei entered the set when they heard the film crew calling for them.
All the participants were wearing a mask on set, with only their bodies visible.
Chapter 9: Throw Herself at Chu Ling
Editor: Henyee Translations
"After a close fight, we are down to 30 contestants. Each team has now selected seven contestants. The two remaining participants might end up eliminated."
"Now you have the chance to convince the instructors to change their minds using your talent. Sadly, you will have to leave the show if none of the instructors pick you."
"The last two contestants are Little Stone and Little Dream."
Little Dream stood up. His real name was Meng Shaoheng.
Since the film crew did not want any decisions to be made on the grounds of looks, no one was allowed to share their real name. All the contestants had to come up with a nickname to be used throughout the show.
Shi Jin only remembered this when she stood on set.
She also recalled that none of the instructors wanted the last two contestants.
Each team already had seven contestants that could be sent to compete with the other teams. If there were more team members, it was harder for the instructor to come up with a battle plan. Each team member would also have fewer opportunities to compete and perform.
In other words, everyone fought it out until the top three winners were born. However, each team had to work together to get there, so no one wanted a lousy team member.
The last two contestants were at the bottom of the 30 left.
Sure enough, the instructors needed more time to decide after Meng Shaoheng finished his performance.
"Shi Jin, it's your turn." Deng Yufei elbowed Shi Jin's arm.
Shi Jin finally recalled she was Little Stone. She almost forgot about the nickname.
Deng Yufei assumed Shi Jin's performance was still as inconsistent as before, so she encouraged her kindly, "Just act cute to Chu Ling when you perform. I'm sure he will pick you if you do it. Didn't you write a love letter for him? Take the chance to give it to him."
The moment she did that, Fu Xiuyuan would get angry, and Chu Ling's fans would scold her like crazy.
Shi Jin recalled she did exactly that in her past life. Even though she could have used her talent, she took the chance to give Chu Ling a love letter in the hope that he would take notice of her and come back to her.
Fu Xiuyuan flew into a rage after he learned of her actions. Also, Chu Ling's fans made her public enemy number one and would stay with Shi Jin for the rest of her life.
The camera followed Shi Jin when she stood up.
Shi Jin barely had any airtime during the last few episodes. She had joined the show because of Chu Ling. However, she wanted to rid herself of Fu Xiuyuan, so she often dressed inappropriately.
This time, she was dressed minimalistically in her usual style. Her limbs looked long, and her ankles were surprisingly fair and beautiful.
The cameraman followed her closely and did not want to let go of any good content.
"Little Stone, are you going to sing or submit a song?"
Chu Ling sounded exceptionally warm and polite on screen.
There were two options for the participants. They could either perform or submit their original songs to the instructors to get their votes.
Most decent singer-songwriters were good singers, and their voices only varied in tonal quality.
Shi Jin smiled confidently. "I want to submit a song."
